Manchester United's Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been ruled out for 'several weeks' after sustaining an injury against Brighton.
Wan-Bissaka was named on the bench for Brighton's visit to Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon because he'd been unwell in the week leading up to the game, but he was brought off the bench in the 85th minute.
The right-back sustained an injury in the closing stages and he's now facing a spell on the sidelines for several weeks.

Wan-Bissaka is now unavailable for Wednesday's Champions League match against Bayern Munich and the club has confirmed a further assessment is required to determine the exact length he's expected to be sidelined for.
Prior to the weekend, Wan-Bissaka had started every league game so far this season after winning back his starting role last term.
Erik ten Hag is currently contending with an injury crisis in his squad and Wan-Bissaka joins teammates like Tom Heaton, Raphael Varane, Mason Mount, Soyfan Amrabat and Kobbie Mainoo who are also currently dealing with injuries.
Ten Hag, speaking after the Brighton defeat, indicated one unnamed player would be in contention to make the travelling squad.
"Maybe, maybe one player," Ten Hag said when asked if any players could return. "But I think Munich is a little bit too short. I go to Burnley and the week after, players will return.
"Bayern Munich is one of the favorites to win the Champions League, so we have to be good there and I already explained we need character, belief, resilience, determination, absolutely."
